The results were instant and overwhelming. Within three weeks of the ads starting, we had filled eight of the nine openings for welders with qualified candidates. Chris Boynton is a joy to work with and explained the whole process thoroughly. We love the flexibility of changing our ads quickly as our needs change. We would recommend advertising with Chris and Sunny 101.5 & Z94.3 to anyone who is struggling to find qualified applicants for open positions.
